Blood Strike × BLEACH Update Live — Here’s How to Access It If It Isn’t Showing
The Blood Strike battle royale shooter has launched its official collaboration with BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War, running from February 1 to February 28, 2026. The event includes BLEACH skins, passes, rewards, and themed gameplay, letting players earn outfits like MCX – Tensa Zangetsu, ZERO-Ichigo Kurosaki, and RAN – Rukia Kuchiki along with other exclusive cosmetics and items.
However, some players in regions like MENA and parts of Europe have reported that the update isn’t appearing on their game yet — even though it’s officially live. Many community members have noted in discussion threads that they aren’t seeing the collab content while players in other regions (such as Brazil and Southeast Asia) already can.
What’s Included in the BLEACH Update
•A limited-time BLEACH collaboration event running until Feb 28
•BLEACH skins and featured sets available from Feb 1 and Feb 2
•Daily login rewards and free Gold bonuses during the event period
•Themed items like parachutes and Playpal themed around BLEACH
Why Some Regions Don’t See the Update Yet
Players have discussed that the event doesn’t show up in some regional versions — likely due to regional rollout differences or approval timing, which occasionally happens with crossover events. This means the content may be live in some stores or servers but not yet visible everywhere.
How Players Are Accessing It With a VPN
Several players have found a workaround by using a VPN to connect to regions where the update is already live (like Brazil or EU countries where it has appeared first). While this is not officially supported by the game, it’s helping some players access the BLEACH collaboration early:
•Install a VPN app and connect to Brazil or another supported region
•Open the game store while connected to that region and search for Blood Strike
l(Download or update the game through that store — once launched, the in-game event begins
•After download, the game can often be played normally even without the VPN active
Players have shared these steps in community groups, noting that it works because Blood Strike detects the store region rather than your real location. However, results can vary depending on platform and store policies.
If you do try a VPN, make sure it’s a reputable one — free VPNs often throttle speed, which can negatively affect gameplay.
Even though the BLEACH event hasn’t reached every region yet, it’s fully live on supported servers, and players are already earning exclusive rewards and enjoying themed modes. If you’re still waiting for it to appear where you are, trying the region workaround above might give you earlier access.
Somethings you might wanna know
•Using VPN doesn't get your account banned - Tested
•After getting access to the event with VPN, switching off the VPN will return your account to normal and you won't have access to the event again
•Any reward gotten, or skin purchased won't be forfeited and has become yours forever
Personally I think you should try it, even if you don't plan to purchase any skins, the event is dope and the skins are really nice.
